Comments by "Just Me" (@JustMe-ec2ph) on "Why You Shouldn't Buy What Andrew Yang is Selling" video.

Why a Job Guarantee is Superior to UBI in Every Conceivable Way https://steemit.com/job/@smithwillsuffice/why-a-job-guarantee-is-superior-to-ubi-in-every-conceivable-way There is no way BOTH Ubi and Medicare for all would pass both the House and Senate and we need Medicare for all more! Dave Rubin Accidentally EXPOSES Yang's UBI As Libertarian Trojan Horse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is2VWliq7Jg&t=3s When Yang was asked Why not just blow the safety net part, etc and then Yang says over time, "just wouldn't do it all at once." Spin it or interpret it however you want but Yang was saying he would eliminate the safety net which would hurt the poorest people more than UBI helps them! And we need Medicare for all MORE than we need UBI and no way both would pass. Around 17:00 min into the video Richard Wolff Interview On TYT on UBI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwZOF9ZsNWQ Does Richard Wolff think UBI is a solution?, "NO" "...Let me explain in a couple of ways first if you're going to give income without work to a large number of people who are not structurally part of the economy you're not going to over come the split between those who do the work and those who live off the LABOR OF OTHERS and that's a very dangerous relationship which the whole history of the human race seems to me to have taught us..." End of quote Richard Wolff debates FOX's Stuart Varney on Wealth Distribution & Worker Coops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-p5OT89-Uc&t=1s when he was asked at around 5:50 into the video he was asked about UBI. Richard Wolff even relates Yang as in trying to buy votes! Debunk: Arguments Against The Green New Deal (TMBS 101) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZDCQbyod24 Around 5:33 in the video "For me it panders to the lowest conceivable denominator it's another candidate saying here I'm going to hand you some money it's buying votes it's look I'm going to give you some money and now you're going to be able to solve this problem..." "...we're gonna solve this by throwing money at individuals who will then hopefully spend it in such a way that magically all of the social problems are overcome..." Talking about Bernie's solutions.... "You can go even further those kinds of structural changes even one of them would be worth a hell of a lot more than a thousand bucks so that you know you can get the idea across you are going for a much bigger prize when you go after these other issues..." End of Wolff's quotes I'm no Hillary supporter but she said “To provide a meaningful dividend each year to every citizen, you’d have to raise enormous sums of money, and that would either mean a lot of new taxes or cannibalizing other important programs. We decided it was exciting but not realistic....” End of quote and I especially noted what she said about new taxes OR cannibalizing other IMPORTANT programs! Under "Who Pays" https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/27/free-cash-handouts-what-is-universal-basic-income-or-ubi.html What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get." UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY Yang has also acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT. If you trust him to solve those problems, fine, I do NOT! And then there's this.... GOV. CONTROL OVER JOURNALISTS? On his CNN Town Hall Yang was basically saying he wants the gov. to decide what is misinformation that Journalists puts out. I'm definitely against that!

@johncrab67 No, but you would tell people to read Yang's book or his website that is a lot longer! I know only those interested in both sides will read it. So many of you yangers say research but then you mean only research Yang, I get it LOL

The Yang Gang had to send out notices to come criticize and vote this down for them to get here so quickly after this was posted. I was letting people know in the live stream to come listen to your video "UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids" .

@johncrab67 If he preferred that he would want to eliminate the safety net like yang wants to do!

@CooloutAC You are still not giving correct information I see! There is more than one Social Security income. The full UBI does NOT stack on top of Social Security Supplemental Income. You are misleading people! Directly from Yang's website......... "SSDI is based on earned work credits. SSI is a means-tested program. You can collect both SSDI and the Freedom Dividend. Most people who are legally disabled receive both SSDI and SSI. Under the Freedom Dividend, those who are legally disabled would have a CHOICE between collecting SSDI and the Freedom Dividend, OR collecting SSDI and SSI, whichever is more generous." end of quote. Yang makes it clear people some people would have to make a choice so make sure your comments reflects that but as many flips as Yang has done who knows which one of those positions will end up being the one he goes with! One of the ones he sure hasn't flipped on at all is the one where the wealthy gets UBI regardless of what their incomes are or where it comes from!
1
@CooloutAC You are misleading again! The only taxes raised will be on the wealthy! You must be among them because otherwise what we pay NOW for health care is a lot MORE than what we would pay with Medicare for all which means we pay less! No one has to take a job with Bernie's FJG. You can continue to be lazy!
1
@CooloutAC Over 200 ECONOMISTS have signed a pledge to raise the min wage to $15! Don't think they would had if they didn't think it would help. Over 200 ECONOMISTS are ALSO supporting BERNIE'S MEDICARE FOR ALL BILL while yang's is for Medicare for all those that want it which is not Medicare for all.

@CooloutAC you yangers tell people to read yang's book and his website but can't read one long comment LOL I have already responded to the rest of your crap!

@CooloutAC Still not giving the correct context I see! Directly from Yang's website......... "SSDI is based on earned work credits. SSI is a means-tested program. You can collect both SSDI and the Freedom Dividend. Most people who are legally disabled receive both SSDI and SSI. Under the Freedom Dividend, those who are legally disabled would have a CHOICE between collecting SSDI and the Freedom Dividend, OR collecting SSDI and SSI, whichever is more generous." end of quote.

One of the ones he sure hasn't flipped on at all is the one where the wealthy gets UBI regardless of what their incomes are or where it comes from! Of course Yang is not admitting at his website what he said to Rubin that lets everyone know his intentions of eliminating the safety net!

@matthewlake182 No need to fear monger on automation! It's here, yes, but not like Yang makes it out to be!

@CooloutAC elderly disabled stay at home moms can get disability! And you must be part of the top one percent if you are worried your taxes will be raised.

@CooloutAC Bernie is not a typical politician! And his record tells us he won't go back on what he is campaigning on! Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it.
1
@CooloutAC I don't know how many times I have to write this! I have listened to Yang, read his website, including when he has made changes, including his flip flops, but I don't listen to just one side! The research I do includes all sides of his views and of UBI! I also made it clear in my comment to tell me what Yang has done that I know he has created jobs which is great but that is not a good resume by itself to be president period! Not everyone wants to be an entrepreneur, either!! Heck yes, it's Bernie's consistency and voting record that tells me he won't go back on what he is campaigning on and Yang does that no matter how you want to spin it!!

@CooloutAC I am not in a fantasy land FYI I have worked with people for years even though I am not on welfare I know a lot of people that are! And buddy I also know a lot of them don't really try! They fill out the application and the first time turned down many won't keep trying and that is their own fault. People that are really disabled they can get a disability attorney and they don't have to pay if they don't win and when they do win they go back to when the application was filed on the amount they receive which can be a good sum. And the health benefits they get are very good, too! Full UBI is not stacked on top of people getting Social Security Supplemental Disability income! Stop spreading false information! Yes, I pay taxes and I have a right to say where I want my taxes to go, too! And it's sure not for Yang's UBI. I won't even go there with your Republican talking point about Bernie being a commie. You are really desperate to get Yang support to even say that!! Directly from Yang's website......... "SSDI is based on earned work credits. SSI is a means-tested program. You can collect both SSDI and the Freedom Dividend. Most people who are legally disabled receive both SSDI and SSI. Under the Freedom Dividend, those who are legally disabled would have a CHOICE between collecting SSDI and the Freedom Dividend, OR collecting SSDI and SSI, whichever is more generous." end of quote.

@dirtbagleftist1688 You can't spot anything since you don't even know Yang supports Medicare for all for those that is not really Medicare for all. "Such a plan — Medicare for All alongside private health insurance — has received support from former Vice President Joe Biden, Reps. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and Tim Ryan of Ohio, entrepreneur Andrew Yang and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who dubbed the proposal "Medicare for All who want it." https://www.salon.com/2019/07/07/medicare-for-all-single-payer-expanding-obamacare-whats-the-difference/

I wonder just how many times you and other Yang supporters are not giving out the correct information!? There is more than one Social Security income and those on Social Security Supplemental income which disabled people get alll $1,000 does NOT stack on top of UBI. Educate yourself yang supporters and stop misleading people. Directly from Yang's website......... "SSDI is based on earned work credits. SSI is a means-tested program. You can collect both SSDI and the Freedom Dividend. Most people who are legally disabled receive both SSDI and SSI.

@johncrab67 NO, not just like Bernie! Yang has been wishy washy on Medicare for all. At first Yang had at his website for awhile about being for Medicare for all OR some NEW HEALTH CARE SYSTEM whatever that means. The last I read unless he changes again is Yang is for Medicare for all that want it which is not Medicare for all. "Such a plan — Medicare for All alongside private health insurance — has received support from former Vice President Joe Biden, Reps. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and Tim Ryan of Ohio, entrepreneur Andrew Yang and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who dubbed the proposal "Medicare for All who want it." https://www.salon.com/2019/07/07/medicare-for-all-single-payer-expanding-obamacare-whats-the-difference/

@CooloutAC Most every poll for year has showed Bernie beats Trump so you can peddle that to someone that doesn't know differently! Bernie would not force anyone to take a job!
1
@CooloutAC Not all polls are misleading! But it does take someone that knows how to read them to know the difference.
1
@CooloutAC Bernie has been just about the only one that has fought to keep our existing social and welfare programs even when Obama and Biden wanted to cut them with just about every Dem on board so Bernie is not about forcing everyone to work! Don't pretend to care about any of our freedoms, either, after politicians on both sides voted for the Patriot Act that took some of our freedoms away. Bernie voted against that. He is more for our freedoms than most of the other politicians are! Bernie's record speaks for itself.

@johncrab67 I don't know if that is or isn't the case with you but I do know I have read comments from Yang supporters that have said they are telling all of you to go "spam" Bernie's live streams and his comment sections promoting Yang and/or smearing Bernie so if that is the case with you it's certainly not with all of you! I have also heard some of Yang's supporters on videos telling all of you to go down vote every channel that says anything about Yang you don't like and criticize in the comment section! Many Yang supporters attack like Vultures anyone that disagrees with them!
1
@phoebemoon6952 As many times as Yang has flip flopped on some of his positions there is no way of knowing what is final positions will be but I totally believe he will do what he said on eliminating the safety net but as he said he just "wouldn't do it all at once",

I am not fooled, either, Pmail Mail! I couldn't disagree more with Yang's policies! And so does Richard Wolff, Jared Bernstein, and the over 200 economists that have signed onto Bernie raising the min wage to $15 AND to his Medicare for all bill. There is no way BOTH Ubi and Medicare for all would pass both the House and Senate and we need Medicare for all more! UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY more quotes from other videos and links.... Rubin said to Yang,"...Why not just blow apart the safety net as is take because we know it's just a boondoggle of middle management nonsense..." Rubin is absolutely saying why not eliminate it! Yang's reply "... That's the beauty of this the Freedom Dividend proposal as you have the six hundred billion or so and then you're saying hey guess what like now it's a new right of citizenship EVERYONE GETS IT AND THEN WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS YOU'RE GOING TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE ENROLLMENT IN THESE PROGRAMS VERY VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE LIKE I PREFER THE CASH AND THEN THIS NEW INCOMING POPULATION WOULD JUST OPT FOR THE DIVIDEND AND THEN NEVER END UP ON THESE WELFARE PROGRAMS SO YOU WOULD END UP SHRINKING THE ENROLLMENTS OVER TIME AND THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE YOU JUST WOULDN'T DO IT ALL AT ONCE..."End of quotes Yang plainly said at the end it would be the way Rubin said well just how did Rubin say it? Why not just blow the safety net part, etc and then Yang says over time, just wouldn't do it all at once. Does Richard Wolff think UBI is a solution?, "NO" "...Let me explain in a couple of ways first if you're going to give income without work to a large number of people who are not structurally part of the economy you're not going to over come the split between those who do the work and those who live off the LABOR OF OTHERS and that's a very dangerous relationship which the whole history of the human race seems to me to have taught us..." End of quote Richard Wolff even relates Yang as in trying to buy votes! "For me it panders to the lowest conceivable denominator it's another candidate saying here I'm going to hand you some money it's buying votes it's look I'm going to give you some money and now you're going to be able to solve this problem..." "...we're gonna solve this by throwing money at individuals who will then hopefully spend it in such a way that magically all of the social problems are overcome..." Talking about Bernie's solutions.... "You can go even further those kinds of structural changes even one of them would be worth a hell of a lot more than a thousand bucks so that you know you can get the idea across you are going for a much bigger prize when you go after these other issues..." End of Wolff's quotes Benamin Franklin quote below.... “When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.” end of quote. What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get." "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Mr. Bernstein regarding passing UBI while keeping existing social programs, "...and that is a very expensive endeavor involving the RAISING OF MUCH MORE TAX REVENUE and thus NOT something I suspect many people in this room would readily support." And Mr. Bernstein was talking about just UBI not passing with existing programs so that's not even counting getting Medicare passed, too! I'm no Hillary supporter but how about what she said on UBI........ Hillary Clinton seriously considered running her 2016 campaign for president on a platform built with UBI. But she couldn’t figure out a reasonable way to pay for it. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t make the numbers work,” Clinton wrote in her campaign memoir, “What Happened.” “To provide a meaningful dividend each year to every citizen, you’d have to raise enormous sums of money, and that would either mean a lot of new taxes or cannibalizing other important programs. We decided it was exciting but not realistic....” End of quote and I especially noted what she said about new taxes OR cannibalizing other IMPORTANT programs! What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get." Yang has also acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT. If you trust him to solve those problems, fine, I do NOT! And then there's this.... GOV. CONTROL OVER JOURNALISTS? On his CNN Town Hall Yang was basically saying he wants the gov. to decide what is misinformation that Journalists puts out. I'm definitely against that!

Your sure got that wrong! It was the super delegates that screwed Bernie over and would not change their minds! As for Yang.... Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it.
